Request Body

application/json

type?string
Value in"dm"
custom_fields?object

Application-defined custom fields.

custom_schema_spec?

Custom schemas described using identifiers. Each custom field in the request must have the corresponding schema specified; omission results in a Bad Request error. If a custom schema is not included in the specifier, it remains unchanged. For surfaces with human interactors, it is recommended to provide tenant_fragment: true and validate_required_fields: true.

get_if_conflict?boolean

If true and a chat already exists with unique properties that conflict with the chat creation, then the existing chat is returned without error, otherwise if false, a conflict error is returned.

title?string

The title for the chat.

Formattext
is_default?boolean

Whether this is the default DM for messaging the constituent users. If true, then this DM is always returned when opening a DM for the users. Note only one DM may be the default for a given set of users. By Default, this is true.

records?array<string>

The associated records for this DM.

Itemsitems <= 16
users*array<string>
